	It is forbidden to provide the tables or results in full or in parts on other sites! Please just refer a link to www.av-comparatives.org
	If you have questions about the tests and/or the results, please ask us directly in our forum (www.av-comparatives.org/forum).
	Before asking, please read carefully also the test reports and all the other documents on our website.
	Please do not put to much attention to the precentages, as little differences in the percentages do not say much.
	It is better you rely on the levels (advanced+, advanced, standard) reached in this test (see http://www.av-comparatives.org/seiten/overview.html)
	Products belonging to a category can be considered as good as the other products in the same category (regarding the on-demand detection rate).
	The main source of new samples are submissions from AV companies, end users, honeypots, etc. We do not replicate every sample. Read details in the FAQ.
	We do not guarantee a perfect test-set, but the remaining number of "garbage files" contained is so small, that it does not affect the rankings and levels reached by the anti-virus scanners.
